    TRADITIONAL MALAYSIAN BUILT roRMS: A STUDY or THE ORIGINS, MAIN BUILDING TYPES, DEVELOPMBHT or BUILDING roRMS, DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND THE APPLICATION or TRADITIONAL CONCEPTS IN MODERN BUILDINGS Esmawee Haji Endut A thesis submitted to fulfil the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Department of Architecture University of Sheffield November 1993 I TRADITIONAL MALAYSIAN BUILT FORMS: A STUDY OF THE ORIGINS, MAIN BUILDING TYPES, DEVELOPMENT OF BUILDING FORMS, DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND THE APPLICATION OF TRADITIONAL CONCEPTS IN MODERN BUILDINGS SUMMARY The architectural heritage of Malaysia consists of Malay, Chinese and colonial architecture. These three major components of traditional Malaysian architecturel have evolved in sequence and have overlapped from the beginning of the fifteenth century. These building traditions ceased with the emergence of a new architectural movement which was brought into the country in the twentieth century after the nation's independence. This new phase was the development of modern architecture and during this period, many buildings in Malaysian cities were built in the International Style, which was popular in many western countries. The continual process of adopting western styles and images has resulted in buildings which disregard the environmental and climatic factors of Malaysia and this has led to the problem of identity in the development of Malaysian architecture. It was in view of this problem that this research was initiated, coupled with an interest to investigate the underlying principles of traditional built 1 For the purpose of this study, 'traditional architecture' or 'traditional built forms' refer to the early building traditions in Malaysia before independence which includes the Chinese and colonial buildings.

According to many international fire experts, fire safety systems in heritage buildings must be sympathetically designed in order to minimise the impact on the historic character (authenticity) of the buildings. Nevertheless, although many lessons have been learned and approaches to fire safety in heritage buildings have grown more sophisticated, one simple fact remains: most fires occur as a result of human action or negligence. Special considerations should be applied in upgrading fire safety systems in heritage buildings. Not only must the systems aim to comply with the relevant standards and provide the intended levels of protection, but additionally their impact on the building and its fabric must meet a range of tests.

Different versions abound of how this cowboy-town got its name: one, according to the fourth edition of Dewan TBahasa & Pustaka (DBP) dictionary, the word ‘Lenggong’ in its direct translation is an ark; another, was about a man named Lenggong who was residing in the thick forest and discovered the place. Despite being the smallest district in Perak, lush Lenggong was listed as an archaeological heritage site by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2012 when researchers found evidence in the open-air and cave sites, of hominid history from 1.83 million to 1700 years ago. Since then, the town has been inundated with tourists curious about its history.
